Since males only have one X chromosome, they will express any X-linked recessive gene that they have inherited. This means that males are more likely to have X-linked recessive disorders than females, who would have to inherit two copies of the mutated gene in order to have the disorder. X-linked dominant disorders are more frequently expressed by females. The frequency of autosomal dominant or recessive traits is independent of the gender.
